Love the hockey-IQ on this kid. However, not the best skater and lacks true speed and agility. He's one of those "right place at right time" type scorer. I would compare him to a smaller Matt Moulson from the Islanders.

That being said, he may be a borderline "fringe" NHL'er and a very productive AHL player. He may have a career similar to Chris Bourque.

Im not trying to cut the Kid's skills short but the reality is he put up numbers as an over-ager (20 yrs) against kids. Hes game was more mature and hes body was better conditioned and the experience was certaintly a factor.

I need to see him on a regular basis in the AHL before I get my hopes up on this guy. Anywho, good for the kid and I hope he proves me wrong.

the overager thing means nothing. tons of really good players played in the O as 20 year olds. i mean bobby ryan did for god sakes. projecting his future right now, whether it be positive or negative is asinine. saying he's going to be chris bourque is really really stupid. he hasn't played a pro game yet. he has improved his game dramatically over the last couple years. let him play some pro hockey, then judge.

The reality is he wasn't an overager. He was in his 4th OHL season and didn't turn 20 till after the New Year.

The skating part ? Maybe true in a old report that you might have found. This year ? I've noticed an improvement in his speed. Agility has never been a problem in my opinion.

That's all fine n dandy but has BadHab seen Griffith skate ?

See skating around cones at a Mass. High School rink is very different...

Isnt that what I said? Read the post before commenting.

i did. you mentioned it as an after thought. he played against these little midget kids that are 18 and he's a 20 year old with 12 kids. overagers numbers don't mean a thing. he's probably going to be like chris bourque. future fringe NHLer. oh well, we'll have to watch him play. that's basically what you said
